Erratically most nearly means

  1. Consistently

  2. Intermittently

  3. Irregularly

  4. Systematically

The correct answer is: Consistently

The word "erratically" means to act in a manner that is unpredictable, irregular, or without any consistent pattern. In this case, "consistently" is the correct choice because it is the direct opposite of "erratically." Consistently means to act in a predictable, steady, and uniform way, which is the exact opposite of what "erratically" conveys. Therefore, option A is the best choice that most nearly means the same as "erratically."
